Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Notorious Supreme Court Justice, has Died 19 September, 2020

U.S.A.-(AmmoLand.com)- Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RGB) had a turbulent and notorious career on the Supreme Court. She died after prolonged bouts with cancer and assorted associated ailments. She is reported to have died on Friday, the 19th of September 2020.

She spent over 27 years of her life on the Supreme Court. She was influential in many hotly contested decisions that overturned long precedent or created new rights for special interest groups never mentioned in the Constitution. She was a fierce opponent of any sort of significant meaning in the Second Amendment of the Constitution.

It is widely believed she did not retire during the Obama regime because she thought Hillary Clinton was certain to win the 2016 elections. She was such a partisan advocate, she wished to have her replacement appointed by a woman. She lost that bet.<

It appears she will have a replacement appointed by President Trump.

President Trump has kept his word about appointing judges who are originalists and textualists. He has appointed judges who believe the words of the Constitution mean things, and those meanings may not be changed, unless through the process of Constitutional amendments.

Most judges on the court since the reign of Franklin Roosevelt have been philosophical progressives. They have promoted the idea of the Constitution as a “living document”, which means the Constitution can be changed by justices on the Supreme Court as they feel it should be changed.

That philosophy means the Constitution had no fixed meaning, but changes with the change of justices and their ideas, on the court. It is an attractive option for Supreme Court justices. It gives them immense power, privilege, and status.

Promoting one's own power and privilege to the uproarious applause of one's peers and the media is the easiest thing

“...They have promoted the idea of the Constitution as a ‘living document’, which means the Constitution can be changed by justices on the Supreme Court as they feel it should be changed. ...”

In other words, to the Communists such as Ginsburg, a “living document” means a dead document.

It says, “Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Notorious Supreme Court Justice, has Died 19 September, 2020” and indeed, you are very confused.

“...there have been a few Supreme Court Justices that just wouldn’t retire.”

For an example, look up William O. Douglas. For sheer liberal arrogance, he makes RBG look like a schoolgirl. Douglas served longer than any other justice (36 years) and was famous for antagonizing his fellow justices. Forced to retire following a stroke, he continued to hang out at the Supreme Court building, a cantankerous old coot brandishing his cane at critics.

Douglas was perhaps the worst example of what lifetime tenure on SCOTUS can do to an entire nation.

Not again. How sad.

Yes, very sad. Hey! What’s for breakfast?!

I don’t care if this is rehashed news, it would do me good to read this headline every morning for the next MONTH!

Wasn’t she the sweetest? The lovable, smiling Jewish grandma who did her part to advocate the wanton slaughter of 70 Million innocent human beings and subject Christians to government oppression, doing her best to the bitter end to replace herself with another unelected oligarch to further advance her compassionate cause. We need to put her face on a coin or something; maybe a movie, or TV miniseries....

Yes, I admit, I am often confused.

I am not omniscient.

comforting warmth for eternity.

In that case, shouldn't it be seven times hotter than hot, instead of "comforting warmth"?

How interesting that she died on Talk Like a Pirate Day. I look forward to this day every year.

Which Justice was it, (Warren?), who was so far gone that it appears he did not even participate in his clerks writing of his opinions for several years?

That’s true about several aging justices whose clerks wrote their opinions for them.

RGB, Thurgood Marshall, William O. Douglas, to name a few.

Warren Burger once appeared on the cover of Parade magazine holding a flintlock musket as he declared that only firearms in use in 1791 were protected by the 2nd Amendment.

Black robed tyrants, many of them.

She dies on the 18th, only to rise on the 19th so that she could say hold the vote until after the election. Then she dies again. She joins Franco.

Ginsberg also said that abortion was about reducing populations that “we don’t like.”

People ‘we don’t like’?

Margaret Sanger much?

I’m still a little curious because Snopes tried to disqualify that report. But she later confirmed that the quote was accurate.

Just five months later, we lost Rush.

Note the difference between the way conservatives responded to Ginsburg’s passing and the party the liberals are having to celebrate Rush’s. I haven’t seen them this gleeful since President Reagan died.
